When to Get a Permit
The permit must be taken out by the person doing the work, the electrical contractor or the homeowner. State law does allow a homeowner of a single family residence to do his or her electrical work.

We need the following information to process your permit:

Address of the owner

Exact address of the residence

Name of the state licensed electrical contractor, state license number, address, and phone number

Owners name

Once the permit is obtained you can schedule an inspection by calling (801) 963-3283. When an inspector approves the work, we will contact Rocky Mountain Power and authorize power to the installation.

We can make special arrangements for power to panel inspections if requested at least 48 hours in advance. We will coordinate our inspection time with you and Rocky Mountain Power to minimize time without electricity for all existing buildings.
